PHONE 48185. 29th June, 1943. Very Rev. Father Senan, O.F.M. Cap., Capuchin Publications Office, Capel Street, DUBLIN. My dear Father Senan, It was most kind of you, in the midst of all your editorial worries, to think of sending me an advance copy of the CAPUCHIN ANNUAL. I am still engaged with Confirmations in the Country and my copy arrived just as I was on the point of departing for a distant parish. I can still look forward to the treat of reading the 1943 Annual, as I have not yet had the opportunity of settling down to it; but I have already had a delightful surprise in discovering that you have refused to let emergency conditions lower your artistic standards: I have been truly amazed at the quality of the paper, the beautiful printing and photographure and the excellent taste with which the whole matter has been presented. I need scarcely tell you that I have a very special interest in this issue of the CAPUCHIN ANNUAL and for what you have done in this regard I could not even begin to thank you. It is with the most selfish motives that I wish you record sales! With kindest regards, I am, very sincerely yours, th. M. ageean.

Dear Father Senan, Many thanks for the copy of the Capuchin Annual which seems to me a magnificent production. I cannot think how you do it these days. I am including in the current issue a note and comment which refers to the Partition question as treated in the Annual. The Annual itself will, however, be more generally reviewed by Grace Conway in a future issue. Many congratulations. Yours sincerely, EDITOR. Father Senan.O.F.M.Cap. Capuchin Periodicals.
